Photo copy or original of the receipts

We are opening an LLP. I have few questions:

1. Is there any requirement to maintain original receipts of expenses? Or, can we just keep the copies and not keep the originals?

2. We are thinking about scanning the receipts and keeping only e-copies of the income/expence. Is that enough from a legal requirements aspect?

3. We are paying money to some agents who in turn pay to our end users. Should we deduct TDS from these agents?
